Sadly last weekend The Little Balcony was packed up and taken to a new location. Our current London flat was sold, which we had been planning for a whole and in a very mad last minute rush, due to a last minute change, we moved to a new rented London flat, which unfortunately does not have a garden or a balcony, as I had hoped.
During the move, I had to get rid of all the vegetable plants, which included the last of the Tomatoes, Chilies and Courgettes; luckily it was coming to the end of the session so these were ready to be thrown away. Otherwise along with the Herbs, the Brussels Sprout plant, which is still growing away and the Strawberry plants, these were all taken to my mum’s house up north in Chester, which will be their new home.
I am a little sad about this, as I won't be able to plant anything new next year, but it will give me time to start on the cook book, which I've been trying to get off the ground for the last couple of years. Hopefully we will be moving somewhere new in about six months and a garden/balcony is high on my list.
Having said that I did manage to keep a few plants, which hopefully will survive indoors on the kitchen windowsill, I have a Lavender plant, the Vietnamese Coriander plant, a Parsley plant and two Chili plants, which are still flowering and then all the other house plants.
